Our driver/guide Chris was excellent. He was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. The sites we toured and visited were excellent reflections of the area. Also, he explained historic derivations of words which helped us understand place names. He also passed around an iPad showing clips from ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL of places that we were visited.

Absolutely amazing tour on Saturday 5th October. Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Will 100% recommend :-)

A wonderful day with Mark our guide. Despite the weather he made the trip enjoyable, with his knowledge of the area, and went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable trip. Thank you Mark. A pleasure to meet you.

Excellent and thoroughly enjoyable tour. Weather was perfect! Perfect pace . Cannot wait to come back to this part of the country

Mark was a great guide! He starts out by asking everyone’s name and where they are from, which creates a friendly atmosphere right at the beginning. He does a superb job in describing villages along the way as well as much information about the Moors. Appreciated his tips on restaurant options in Whitby. He gets an A++!

What a splendid day with Chris and our adventure to the Yorkshire Moors, Whitby and steam train. We saw so many lovely sights, ate amazing fish at Whitby, enjoyed the steam train for part of the return trip and all this enhanced by Chris' commentary and sharing of his interesting local knowledge. Highly recommend. Sisters from Bendigo, Australia.

The scenery was amazing. The trip to the Dales was one of the highlights of our 2 week trip to the UK. Our tour guide Chris was absolutely amazing! He was very personable and was a wealth of knowledge and information about the Yorkshire Dales. He took us to many of the places used in the filming of All Creatures Great and Small as well as other historical places. I especially appreciated all the stops for photo opportunities and to get out and do some walking. I definitely recommend taking this tour!!

If you're fans of the books or the television series (or both) you do NOT want to miss this tour. Visiting the actual home and veterinary practice of Alf Wight (pen name "James Herriot") in his hometown of Thirsk, you get to see exactly what inspired his well loved stories. Then you travel to the actual film locations of the Channel 5 / PBS series, a wonderful trip through the gorgeous Yorkshire dales. Best of all, you get to spend a day with a local who knows and loves the unique culture of the region. Our guide, Allan, actually knew the "Herriot" family personally and gave us a lot of insider stories behind the books. If you love All Creatures, you will absolutely love this tour.

I’ve never been up north before, so seeing all these lovely sights opened my eyes. All the heather and greenery wash beautiful

Go for it! This tour was amazing. We visited beautiful villages North to York with stunning landscape and cottages, breathtaking views. Our guide, Marc was so kind and informative that made everything just perfect! I took so many photos! Highly recommended and worth every penny! Thank you again, Marc!

Mark is a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and with great recommendations for places to eat at Whitby. I highly recommend this tour

Mark was very knowledgeable & personable. It was a lovely day spent & we would highly recommend the tour to friends. We think Mark is a great asset to the company.

We highly recommend BOB tours! We spent an amazing day out with Mark on the Yorkshire Dales National Park tour. We loved being in a smaller group, and unlike those big bus tours, we were able to understand perfectly everything Mark said through his microphone. The tour guides at this small company build the tours around key stops with added elements based on their own experience and knowledge of the area. This meant that our guide was able to rearrange stops according to the weather that day and add in a few stops based on what he learned about the interests of our particular group. Aside from the incredible beauty of the area, we also enjoyed learning from Mark’s deep well of knowledge to improve our understanding of the history, culture and economy of the area. Our one regret was that we didn’t think to have cash on hand to tip our tour guide. Tips are not expected but if you take one of these tours you will see how hard the guides work and appreciate the thoughtful personal touches they bring to your experience. We think you will want to thank your guide with a tip!

Great tour. Mike was a very safe driver and the van was clean and comfortable. Great information and a beautiful trip. Would recommend to a friend!

Me and my son took this trip with Mountain Goat Tours on August 30th. Our driver was John and I think we got so lucky. John made the trip with his humour and facts that he delivered throughout the day. I wish I had recorded all the history he relayed, so knowledgeable. We had the best weather too with sunshine and blue skies. The Mercedes passenger van was v comfortable even when going over the more bumpy trails. Highlights included the Moors and Whitby Bay and thanks to the recommendation from John we ate our fish and chips at the Magpie Cafe, award winning. Lovely! Highly recommended trio and hope you get John as your guide!
